Cinematographers have long employed cinematic subterfuge
to hide the signs of age on an actress’s face.
Today those methods are becoming “old-school”
as advancing digital technology makes it possible to

career or does it undermine her performance? Rasche
will present on her oral history research with fifteen
prominent actresses in Hollywood and New York.
